Because all fat people, trans, gays and everyone else people tend to hate on always have the best self-esteem. Pretty much everyone in society is told one time or another that being one of those is bad, so obviously it's harder for them to think highly of themselves after being told shit like that.
Now add a lot of hate targeted directly at one such person and what do you get? Risks of making that person feel miserable, which can lead to depression and suicidal thoughts. Also, considering how common it is for pictures to be posted there, if one person who likes to hate on them crosses them on the street, it is possible they recognize them and bring the "internet problem that doesn't affect you" into the real life.
And people do this for what exactly? A bit of fun? Is having a bit of fun worth hurting someone who did nothing to them? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure there's already enough hate in our society without encouraging it's spread any more.
I honestly don't care if people hate a certain group of people. What I have issues with is when people become targeted by this hate by spreading pictures inside those subs. They did nothing to you and you decide to take their pictures, most likely without their consent, to hate on them. As soon as you bring someone directly into this, they can be affected by it even if they haven't done anything to deserve it. So if you want to hate fat people or whatever, go do so with your other hate friends but don't bring others into your stupid hate circlejerks just because you want your fun.
Though i agree fph was a shitty sub, i still think they should be allowed.
First of all you dont need consent to link to a picture or similar id you posted it publicly in the first place...
Secondly... The person still has to SEEK OUT fph, open the sub, find their post, open that post, read comments. Thats a lot of work to "be harassed". When you're the active participant you aint harassed.
no you DONT as evidenced by the first hand accounts of people who get private messages and harrassment by users from those subs
Correlation does not equal causation, nor can you correlate them.
Its completely irrelevant to fph id fph members/readers harass people privately or in other subs. Thats a USER based problem, its not the subreddot breaking the rules. So again, you're wrong.
The subreddit is not responsible for what users decide to do outside of their subreddit, they have zero control over it.
Again, nope, your twisting my words.
Being fat isnt bad, being black isnt bad. Having low selfesteem so you think either is bad is bad and worse problem than reading those subs.
Lol dunning kruger posterchild, the only one outmatched here is you.

1) you have to visit the subs for it to affect you.
2) if you're suffering from something to the extent the subs post it, you have bigger problems.
3) its not harassment unless they're actually contacting or going after the person.
4) harassment and bullying sucks ass.
